About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) position. The ST supports sales initiatives and provides route coverage for ASMs during vacation, sickness, injury, or special projects as needed. The role works with management to maintain customer relationships across sales, merchandising, and operations for large- and small-format off-premise stores, while serving customers safely, productively, professionally, and in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After successfully participating in the training program and becoming certified, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or other qualified role is available and the ST meets performance standards, the employee may remain in the ST role for up to 12 months, or until a qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first. A certified ST must interview for an available ASM or other qualified role. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month completion period ends, the assignment ends unless an exception applies. A manager may extend the period by an additional six months when the employee continues to perform highly, has completed certification, and no roles are open. The position is at-will. The ST learns about Red Bull, its distribution company, brand, and products; supports brand execution and customer relationships; prepares for daily sales plans; trains with ASMs in route support; and provides off-route support through audits, blitzes, displays, and merchandising.
